Construct a very large geodesic dome as a test project for a year round forest garden greenhouse near Victoria BC on Vancouver Island. The purpose of this is to provide a year round food production and retreat environment for community members.

I believe this can be accomplished by individuals with some fabrication skill producing a very large number of specific structural shapes (mostly triangles) of not more than 1m on any side. The exact math needs to be worked out but I am confident it is possible. The final design should be able to be constructed by unskilled individuals snapping the triangles together according to predetermined pattern, to form the tensegrity structure.

Perhaps the permaculture design of the forest garden can begin even before the site is chosen as the eventual enclosed/covered space will be able to be largely weather controlled.

I imagine this as a pilot project to demonstrate to the world what is possible in terms of year round forest gardening in temperate climates.
